Steven Jacobs : [to Will] I swear, you know everything about the human brain except the way it works.

Linda : Mr. Jacobs, it's Linda from Will's team. Something horrible has happened. Franklin is dead - from a viral infection.
Steven Jacobs : What the hell are you talking about?
Linda : He was exposed to the 113. It does something to people that it doesn't do to apes.

Robert Franklin : Mr. Jacobs, please! I am begging you, don't do this!
Steven Jacobs : It would cost a small fortune to run lab test on all those chimps that would tell me what I already know! That they are contaminated!
Robert Franklin : Please, Mr. Jacobs! Lives are at stake! These are animals with personalities, with attachments!
Steven Jacobs : Attachments?
Robert Franklin : Yes.
Steven Jacobs : I run a business, not a petting zoo. Find the most cost-effective way to put those apes down!

Steven Jacobs : I'm going to call you back. Yeah, all right. Thanks. Bye.

[walks to a large screen]
Steven Jacobs : On just the one primate.
Will Rodman : One is all we need. Full cognitive recorvery. We're ready.
Steven Jacobs : Look are you sure you're not rushing this?
Will Rodman : I've been working on this for five and a half years. The data is clear. We're ready, Steven. All I need is your approval for human trials.
Steven Jacobs : For this, you're going to need the board's approval. There's alot of money riding on this, Will. You only get one shot.
Will Rodman : One shot is all I need.
Steven Jacobs : [sighing] All right. But I'll need to see all the research.
Will Rodman : [bangs on the desk] You got it.
Steven Jacobs : And, Will...
Will Rodman : Yeah?
Steven Jacobs : Keep your personal emotions out of it. These people invest in results, not dreams.
Will Rodman : Okay.
